About

Kimberly Ashayeri is a rising leader in the field of spinal neurosurgery, with a focused research portfolio spanning robotic-assisted surgery, spinal oncology, and complex spinal deformity. Her most cited work, a 2024 case series on robotic assisted surgery for spinal metastases (16 citations), demonstrates her commitment to advancing minimally invasive techniques for treating metastatic spine disease, a critical area where precision can significantly impact patient outcomes. Ashayeri has also made notable contributions to the surgical management of recurrent tethered cord syndrome, authoring a morphometric analysis of spinal cord changes following posterior vertebral column subtraction osteotomy (PVCSO). This work provides essential anatomical insights for a high-risk procedure aimed at permanently alleviating spinal cord tension. Additionally, her comparative studies on freehand, fluoroscopic, CT-navigated, and robot-guided fusion techniques (TLIF and ALIF), along with her analysis of the learning curve for robotic pedicle screw placement based on surgical invasiveness, have helped define best practices for adopting new technologies. With a growing citation count and a clear trajectory toward integrating robotics and advanced navigation into spine surgery, Ashayeri is shaping the future of safer, more precise spinal interventions.
